Performed by Anthony Garcia
Fresh Ground, featuring the sonic world of guitarist Anthony Garcia, is a unique recital project that explores a number of interlocking performance approaches. Compositions will merge from traditional set works, improvised cadenzas, preludes and interludes toward more contemporary processed soundscapes and looped textural improvisations. His work preserves the ancient art of story-telling through sound-reflecting experiences the artist has garnered through his travels in Mexico, the US, Japan, Thailand and Indonesia.
